In 2007, my brothers and I created Harts4Jack, a non-profit organization to support causes which are important to us. In six years, we have raised over $25,000 for various organizations. Two years ago, we lost a family friend to lymphoma, and our grandmother Mima was diagnosed with leukemia, so we decided to team up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and raised a record breaking $8,000!
As most of you know, we are huge fans of the Indianapolis Colts, and coincidentally, their head coach Chuck Pagano was recently diagnosed with the exact same form of leukemia that our Mima survived. This year, we will continue to raise money for the LLS, in celebration of Mima's recent remission, and in support of Coach Pagano and the many others who are currently battling blood cancers.
On March 17th, we will hold our 7th Annual Harts4Jack Hoops Tourney (and on March 20th, Spencer's "Mini Harts" Tourney). About 150 friends will participate, and we hope to set a new record for funds raised. We hope you will join us in the fight against blood cancer!!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) helps patients with blood cancer live better, longer lives. Blood cancers are not only the most common form of cancer in children under 18 but also the leading cause of death in young people under 20. LLS leads the way in funding new treatments and cures, with many advances used beyond blood cancer patients for whom they were originally developed.
